Economic Calendar Overlay

Economic Calendar Overlay puts the upcoming economic events on the chart itself: a compact list in the panel and a vertical line at the release time, so a stop that sits inside a news candle is visible before the candle exists. It does not trade. It reads the MetaTrader 5 built-in economic calendar and draws objects on the chart. WHAT IT SHOWS - A panel listing the nearest events, one line each: date and time, currency, event name. - A footer with how many events were loaded. - Vertical lines at the release times of upcoming events, so you can see the next scheduled risk on the price axis. WHY IT IS USEFUL Most news damage is not the direction of the release, it is the spread widening and the spike that takes the stop out first. Seeing where the next release sits relative to your levels turns "avoid news" from a rule you forget into something you can see. INPUTS Calendar - Past days to load, future days to load - High importance only (on / off) - Draw vertical lines (on / off) - Max events in panel Panel - Show panel, panel corner, X / Y offset, panel width - Font, font size, refresh interval (seconds, default 300) Colours - Background, header, border, key text NOTES - Read-only. Never sends orders. - Uses the terminal's built-in economic calendar, so it needs calendar data to be available in your MT5 (server-side feature). If the calendar is empty, the panel simply shows fewer events. - Times are shown in server time. - Event descriptions are drawn from the terminal database; this indicator does not download anything itself and uses no DLLs. DISCLAIMER This indicator is an informational tool. It does not predict the market reaction to any release and does not guarantee any result. Trading involves risk.
